Ingredients
  

  • 3 ounces dark or milk chocolate I used an organic dark chocolate candy bar
  • 1 cup half & half
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar

Instructions
 

  • Whisk the half and half, egg yolks, and granulated sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Whisk constantly until the mixture is thick enough to coat a spoon and almost boiling, about 10 minutes.
  • Add broken up bits of chocolate and continue whisking until melted and well blended. Divide the chocolate mixture among serving dishes (2 1/2 oz shot glasses are great) and refrigerate until set, about 2 hours. (I used a funnel to pour into the narrow glasses)
  • Top with a spritz of whipped cream and garnish if desired (e.g. grated chocolate bits, chocolate transfer hearts, chocolate covered espresso beans)

Notes

To tell if the custard is cooked enough, dip in a spoon to coat, then run your finger down the middle of custard sticking on the spoon. If it is thick enough, it should not run back together .
This made 5 servings in my 2 1/2 oz shot glasses. For larger (or more) servings, you may want to double the recipe.
